Swiggy seeks shareholder approval to become Indian owned and controlled amid Instamart inventory pivot

Swiggy seeks shareholder approval to become Indian owned and controlled amid Instamart inventory pivot

Swiggy has started steps to become an Indian Owned and Controlled Company by seeking shareholder approval to amend its articles and board nomination rules. The move is designed to satisfy FEMA IOCC conditions and strengthen domestic control. It also appears linked to Instamart’s shift from a marketplace approach to an inventory-led model that could boost margins and supply-chain control.

Blinkit and Instamart slow growth as quick commerce chases real profits instead

After breakneck expansion, quick commerce players Blinkit and Instamart are expected to show moderated growth in the January–March quarter.
